You are not alone. This Lent, we invite you to return from whatever lonesome wilderness you find yourself in, to life in a community of faith that cares for its members and for creation, because we are all children of God. To that end, this Lenten study reflects on the work of social ministry organizations (SMOs) dedicated to ending hunger at its roots. We hope that, during your Lenten journey, these stories of ELCA World Hunger’s partner organizations working to strengthen community will help you to celebrate your place in your own community.

On Good Friday, April 17, St. John’s Lutheran Church will have a worship service at 8PM. (Tenebrae) The word “Tenebrae” is Latin for shadows. The Tenebrae service was originally for Good Friday and recreates the emotional aspects of the passion story. There are scripture readings, solemn hymns and the extinguishing of candles as the service progresses until the entire sanctuary is left in darkness. At this point the service ends, but the story of Christ is unfinished and it continues on Easter Sunday when we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus.
